I don't think out why thin volumes can not be active on multiple nodes even read-only.
It is intuitive that activating thin volumes in read-only mode will neither change it's own
meta-data nor the pool's.
If I "force" the thin volumes to be active by, for example, changing the source code, 
what errors will occur?
